Take Notes (Explicit Album Version)

Five years after his breakthrough, The People's Champ, Paul Wall has settled into a modest career spitting game for a loyal street-rap audience. He's still more welcoming than most of his Houston contemporaries, though, and Heart of a Champion includes unlikely appearances from Bay Area don Andre Nickatina, Chicago juke queen Kid Sister, and West Coast hustler Mitchy Slick. Pop-punk drummer-turned-producer Travis Barker backs Wall on a surprisingly competent "Take Notes," and Devin the Dude drops in for "Smoke Everyday." Even Chamillionaire joins his onetime recording partner for a long-awaited reunion, "Round Here."
